Aim for Relationships not Links

Aim for relationship is a must when you are blogging. Want to know why?

Today is not the era of link spamming or keyword stuffing anymore, so it’s sad to witness the number of people that maintain the old methods attempting to gain results. Online marketing isn’t about putting your site link out to as many directories and websites as possible anymore. SEO has finally transformed into new form that bloggers can be proud of.

Ethical Methods Champ

Podcasts, landing pages, content marketing and search-engine-friendly content are some of the white-hat methods to improve our SEO this year. It’s not overnight process to climb your way top in the rankings, but that’s only because Google isn’t the kind of engine you can fool anymore. Search engines rank and index websites in smarter way today.If you want to climb up high, you don’t have to delve into black-hat methods and you don’t have to spam either. Having readable, informative and engaging content is more than enough to put you on top.

Relationships Turn Into Community

Making guest posts is a good step to start. Submit free content to other bloggers in relevant niches. Blog commenting is another step that is easier to make than the previous.

Many businesses or website owners don’t seem to aware that, even if you’re on top of Google, you are still need readers click your link, read and understand the value of your content for a conversion. By making and distributing quality content within your community, both sides will be able to reap the advantage of a shared community, a higher rank and more conversion to happen.

Aim for Relationships not Links

People loves being featured, being mentioned and earning incoming backlinks to their blog. However, links are great but links aren’t everything.

The word this year is to initiate highlighting on the online community. Instead of blogging to have bloggers link to your site and get mentions, you should be emphasizing on developing new relationships with businesses, website owners and other bloggers. You need to start contacts through the net and you need to be distributing and making content all around.

Hello Okto,
I agree with you about creating relationships with other bloggers online. That’s what makes it fun — I love getting comments on my blog posts. Plus, I like the challenge of writing a guest post and trying to make it fit with the audience who are tuned into some other blogger’s voice.Cheryl Ragsdale recently posted..Cigarette?

Hi, Okto,
Google is penalizing for all web and link spamming so this is not a good time to have huge back links. This is not going to help us any more.
The new way to get good traffic is relation with people and readers. This will be very prolific for.
I am agreeing with your points.
Thank you for sharing a wonderful post. 🙂
Have a nice week ahead. 🙂Kumar Chandan recently posted..How to Build Facebook fan with CSV files of email list?

Hi Kumar,
I like your point. “Relation is the new way to build traffic” … that is so true.
Good to see you here and leaving us feedback. Hope to see you around again 🙂Okto recently posted..Aim for Relationships not Links

Amen to that Okto, you know I’m all about building relationships with other bloggers.

I learned early on that by doing what is right today with SEO that next year all that could easily change and hurt you because there is no way you can go back and change all the content you have online. Just be genuine with what you share and make solid connections and that will come back to benefit you in the long run.

I’ve had so many amazing experiences already from the relationships I’ve built so I know this works wonders. Thank you for sharing this as well and I hope everyone will jump on this wagon train!

You are living proof how this relationship matters work best Adrienne. You have the point that we must be genuine in making the connections. This is something that most newbies forget that they tend to do connections to build links all around the internet.

Hello Okto,
This is indeed an insightful post that is worth the read :).
In the blogging world, relationship is very important and it is only relationship that can keep your blog firm and moving without any problem. You know, i do more of connection that dropping just links because i believe that relationship stays even longer. and your relationship you keep with other bloggers will make it easy for them to help you and even share your blog post willingly.

It’s always interesting to know new people around. There’s many positive advantages we can get from this fun activities. As Adrienne said, relationships works wonders. Just be genuine and useful then we’ll good to go.

I am a bit new to the blogging world, and i have been doing heavy reading to learn the best methods of promoting a blog. I have met with many SEO’s and the talked about the ways they have been promoting businesses online.

The mass link building is just like “Push Marketing”, it won’t work any more.

To meet a certain business target, you just have to approach the right people and build a relationship. Regardless of the business type, i suppose this is a basic truth that will never change!

Great to see you again. That is absolutely right on what you just said. Approach the right people to build relationships is more important than just bulk links today. It takes time for sure but worth the efforts.

Your right Okto with your post.
Getting engage with other bloggers increases your sphere of influence and building true relationship with them gives you more opportunity to grow in your business. And not only that we might find true friendship 🙂bleau recently posted..How to: Rooting Galaxy Mega SGH-i527M
